The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, yesterday, urged the police to fish out miscreants that disrupted the campaign tour of the governorship candidate of its party, Dr. Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, and his Deputy, Funke Akindele, in Badagry.
Jandor and Akindele campaign train was on Sunday night attacked by suspected miscreants at the Ikoga Junction area of Badagry Council of the state.
The incident, which had some journalists sustaining injuries, happened while returning from a visitation to members of the PDP.
Chairman of the Media and Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode, said the attack led to many members of Jandor’s entourage sustaining injuries, while a broadcast journalist was admitted to the hospital.
Amode said the attackers were shouting: ‘APC,’ while shooting and using dangerous weapons.
He said: “Recall that our party raised concern over the threat to use sponsored thugs to attack the campaign trains of our candidate, Jandor, recently.
“We would like to state categorically that this will not deter the determination of our candidate to campaign for the next election and win the election come 2023.
“We hereby call on the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State and the Area Commander of Police in the Badagry Division to do everything possible to fish out those behind the attack and take necessary disciplinary actions against them to forestall such occurrences in the future.”
